”Top Teams Are Too Good To Challenge” Rodgers

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says he does not think the Reds can win the Premier League title this season.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has ruled his side out of this year’s Premier League tittle race.

Rodgers, who took charge in the summer of 2012, is not convinced his side are ready for a genuine title tilt just yet. He says it will be too early for his team to think of challenging the top teams.

“I was at the Manchester City-Chelsea game the other night and I look at the squads they have, which they have built up over the last few years. and it’s very difficult for us, even though we have competed right the way through the season.

“So, I wouldn’t say for us this year, no. We wouldn’t be challengers for it.” Rodgers said.

The Anfield team are enjoying a fine campaign and are currently fourth in the table, eight points behind leaders Arsenal, following Sunday’s 1-1 draw at West Brom.
